Su Wenwu scratched the back of his head, saying, “You’re so thoughtful. Could you wish your parents a Happy New Year for me when you see them?”
Ye Feiran replied, “Of course, but my parents aren’t home much because the situation at home is complicated. That’s also why I came here.”
Su Wenwu nodded. He thought of something and happily said, “Today’s the
Lantern Festival, so my sister made plenty of dumplings. Come and join us for dinner, Feiran.’
Ye Feiran!s hand trembled as she held the glass of water. “C-Can l?”
‘He invited me for dinner! That means I’ll meet his parents and siblings!’
She looked forward to meeting Su Wenwu’s family, even though she was nervous when she came to Su Teng Village.
Ye Feiran had convinced herself to visit Su Wenwu before returning home. However, she did not expect him to invite her to dinner at his place. She was ecstatic.
Su Wenwu added, “Why not? I already told my family how close we are. Oh, you even came up when we had dinner last time. My sister even asked me to invite you to dinner.”
Ye Feiran felt joyful upon hearing this. She looked at Su Wenwu and said,
“Thank you, Wenwu.”
Since childhood, she had followed her father in managing the family and his businesses. Therefore. She had met many people and developed an excellent eye for certain things.
Ye Feiran knew Su Wenwu was always sincere and treated her as his sworn brother. Still, she wondered if Su Wenwu would treat her the same if he discovered she was a woman and not a man.
She dared not confess certain things because she greatly cared about Su Wenwu. She would feel more relaxed and trusting whenever she was with him. They would even discuss business matters.
Su Wenwu could always comfort Ye Feiran. She missed him when he returned to Su Teng Village for the New Year. He also missed her and looked forward to seeing her again.
“There’s no need for thanks.” Su Wenwu looked at Ye Feiran. “Have you lost weight? Did you have anything to eat before this?”
Ye Feiran had not eaten lunch before visiting Su Wenwu. However, she did not tell him because she did not want him to worry. Su Wenwu could guess from her expression that she had not yet eaten.
He did not wait for her reply before standing up and saying, “Wait a moment.”
He went to get a serving of ingredients for the mala hotpot and cooked it for her. Afterward, he added the skewers and another ingredient to make it less spicy, knowing Ye Feiran’s low spice tolerance.
Su Wenwu placed the food before Ye Feiran, saying, “Here’s the food we make here. Try it and see how it tastes.”
Ye Feiran could feel Su Wenwu’s care and concern for her. The latter looked at the silent Ye Feiran and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Feiran shook her head. “N-No, I just appreciate that you’re so good to me.”
Su Wenwu did not know why, but his heart ached when he heard those words. Maybe it was because he thought of Ye Feiran’s childhood experiences. Since she had grown up in the Ye family, she had faced their constant internal strife.
Su Wenwu knew her life was not as happy and carefree as his. On the contrary, the Su family was harmonious and united. He said, “You’ve been good to me too. If you don’t want to return to the Ye family, you can live in my place for a while.’
“Really?” Ye Feiran blinked at Su Wenwu.
“Of course.” Su Wenwu nodded. “My parents are lovely, and my sister has an adopted brother who we treat as one of us. Since we’re like brothers, my family will treat you as one of our own, too.”
He was still unaware that Lan Ruozhu was a king. That was because Su Wenwu was busy in his shop yesterday. Everything at home seemed normal when he returned. No one told him Lan Ruozhu’s true identity.
Therefore, he readily told Ye Feiran about how accepting his parents were. After hearing Su Wenwu’s kind words, Ye Feiran’s anxiety disappeared. She was no longer nervous.
Moreover, she remembered everyone speaking highly of the Su family when she asked about Su Wenwu from the townsfolk.
Soon after, she tasted the less spicy mala hotpot. Indeed, she was pretty hungry, and the fragrance intensified her hunger. Her eyes lit up as she ate.
Su Wenwu observed Ye Feiran’s expression, saying, “How is it? Is it to your taste?”
Ye Feiran nodded. “Mmm, it’s delicious.’
‘He looks strangely adorable,’ Su Wenwu raised his brows, thinking, ‘Wait, his features look more similar to a girl’s. But…’
He stopped looking at Ye Feiran and lowered his head, blushing as he awkwardly looked at the cup he held.
Ye Feiran was starving and too focused on the food to notice Su Wenwu’s strange behavior. When she finished eating, Su Wenwu let his workers go home early. After all, it was the day of the Lantern Festival.
Soon after, he closed the restaurant and took Ye Feiran home.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua was still at Old Master Su and Old Madam Su l s house. Old Madam Su smiled when she saw the glutinous rice balls. “Only
Binglan can make such a thing with that many fillings.’
Shen Qiuhua said, “She packed some for everyone and asked me to deliver them. She’s always thinking about you.”
“Binglan is so kind-hearted.” Old Madam Su felt proud to have a granddaughter like Su Binglan. She waved at Miao Zhizhi and said, “Here, put these in a basket for later.’
“All right.” Miao Zhizhi loved Su Binglan’s cooking. However, the former was confused because she used the same methods as Su Binglan when cooking, but Su Binglan’s food always tasted better.
Nonetheless, she was in a good mood because she could eat glutinous rice balls later.
Shen Qiuhua, Old Master Su, and Old Madam Su were in the room when Miao
Zhizhi arrived with the basket. Shen Qiuhua remembered what she had said to her husband last night and could not help but ask, “There’s something I want to ask.”
“What is it, Qiuhua?”
Shen Qiuhua’s expression turned solemn.. “Did Fengmao lose some of his memories?”
